I set the stops so that the rudder would not hit the elevators. As I remember the rudder and the inner edge of the elevators were about parallel--Jim Lagowski

Clark Griswold just called his boss a "four flusher" in Christmas Vacation... naturallyI though of you guys. LOL!I know, nothing to do with your LA visit, but I had to laugh when I heard him saythat. I mean... just look at the guys and tell me they aren't a couple ofsavvy four flushers.I know, I've used this one before, but it is already a classic. Two major bloviators...Ha Ha!--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/pa27 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: LA next week

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Shad Bell's Winter Nap storyReally well-written Shad and not only did you hit upon the romanticism of our kind of open cockpit barnstormingtype flying but you shared how significantly building, flying, and maintaining your Pietenpol and engine havegiven you a motherload of outstanding educational experiences and knowledge that you can pass along to otherswho follow your footsteps. Sharing the project and flying with your Dad and the connection it forged between youtwo is something that cannot be compared to even the price of a pound of platinum. Very few have experiencedthe journey that you and your Dad have. Don Emch and his father come to mind and I know they share the sameappreciations for what you've gone thru. It isn't just about building and flying your own airplane---it takes on anentire life of it's own and provides an education degree that no college or university course listing can ever offer.Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Winter Nap
